Superstar Car Wash lyrics

If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
There is nothing like it, well
Needless talk, then, I can tell but

Here comes the day I sit and wait... (Dominoes are falling still)
Oh, it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running... (As I know they always will)
Now I'm bummin' home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way... (Dominoes, a test of will)

I called you up all night 'til mornin'
Left my house by noon today (and I saw you standing there)
No one spoke but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say

And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summer's on the way (and I saw you standing there)
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

Don't worry 'bout today (and the words that you said)

If I could walk a straight mile
And could write it down in shorthand, I could show you
If you want me to
And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do

But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you'd shout it with me

It's a beautiful day, I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same, you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sight, I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still, I like mine with a chill
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die

You changed my face
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
Cuz that's the way it is

You said hello
Where the hell you been
I said I feel like I been off to war
And I may never be the same again

I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
Cuz you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud

You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No, I don't know how

Cuz you're gone, and you ain't coming back

Do you know where you wanna go
I ain't got time for you now
Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cuz all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling

Do you see what you do to me
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two
I've got ideas, but it's nothin' I picked up at school
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by

He burned down the house one night
He had a loaded six-pack gun
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop
You know, you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night
But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious
'Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

Why do you stare me down
Am I wrong
Should I turn and kiss the ground
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place

And I didn't get those things
Those things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me

I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues 'til you came home
With a little sadness in your eyes

Now that all my time was spent
In the walk your heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Oh, don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me

I look outside my window,e verything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock

Happy, smilin', cryin,
Outburst to my past.
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
And now I find myself a-tuggin' at your dress.
The fun of holdin' you down, or seein' you frown, is never gonna pass.

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.
All our postcards full of things I won't forget,

I look outside my window,e verything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock

I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues 'til you came home
With a little sadness in your eyes

Now that all my time was spent
In the walk your heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

And I had silly dreams
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me
Oh, don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me

Why do you stare me down

Should I turn and kiss the ground
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place

And I never got serious
'Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

You need someone to hold you
You need somethin' that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you
And I know
It's what I'd do
Here I go

Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to

You need someone to hold you
You need somethin' that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you

It's what I'd do
